GTA 6 Online Mode Pricing Seemingly Confirmed in New Leak – With a Catch
Trusted insider Millie A has leaked Grand Theft Auto VI’s potential pricing structure, revealing that early access to GTA Online will be locked behind premium editions costing up to £109.99. While base game pricing aligns with industry standards, the tiered approach and rumored delay to September 2026 have divided fans over the value of multiplayer advantages.
The Leaked Pricing Tiers
According to Millie A (via Reddit):
- Standard Edition: £69.99
Includes story mode + standard GTA Online access - Deluxe Edition: £89.99
Adds early access to GTA Online - Premium Edition: £109.99
Bundles first-wave priority for GTA Online + unconfirmed extras
Notably, early online access appears to be the core incentive for higher-priced editions – a strategy mirroring Call of Duty’s recent premium bundles.
Fan Backlash Over Online Perks
The community expressed sharp criticism on Reddit:
“Early GTA Online access sounds like absolute crap” – ElliottP1707
“If editions just offer different online access dates, I’ll buy Standard. I won’t touch GTA Online anyway.” – Clown_Wheels
“No way the online launch goes smoothly for ‘first’ people” – Andrew_Waples
Skepticism centers on whether “early access” justifies a £40 premium, especially given GTA Online’s history of rocky launches.
The Delay Shadow
Millie A’s leak also suggests a potential delay from the current May 26, 2026 release to September 2026 – extending the wait to nearly 13 years since GTA V. While unconfirmed, this aligns with Rockstar’s pattern of polishing flagship titles (RDR2 was delayed twice).
Key Unanswered Questions
- Will PC players face another year-long wait post-console launch?
- Could “first-wave access” fragment the player base at launch?
- What tangible bonuses justify the Premium Edition’s £110 price?
Rockstar’s silence leaves these concerns unresolved.

Why This Leak Matters
Despite being unofficial, the pricing model signals Rockstar’s approach:
- Monetization Priority: GTA Online remains a billion-dollar revenue engine
- Console Focus: PC version still unannounced, suggesting staggered release
- Industry Influence: Success could normalize paywalled multiplayer access
Until official confirmation, treat leaks cautiously – but prepare for potential sticker shock.
